News

It might have gone unnoticed to some of you, but a lot has happened since the last news update posted on this site. About time we shared another glimpse of what we've been cooking in the TestBuilt kitchen...

We're back again for a quick news update with some good and bad news. The bad news is that we didn't make it to the closed testing phase before the end of September. The good news is that there's more good news than bad news and we're still making progress...

We'll be increasing the frequency of news announcements while we're getting closer to a finished product. The biggest chunk of our recent activities involved finishing the re-baking of terrain light maps and implementing the new database interface. It would be nice to show some cool screenshots to show off our work, but a database interface is not all that sexy nor proof. In other words, you'll just have to take our word for it...

Hello everyone. I'm sorry for taking so long to post some news here. Sadly, there has been a lack of (good) news worthy of mentioning in this section. Everyone following us closely in the #TestBuilt IRC channel received the most detailed and up to date information. Most of which has been concerning blocking issues and fumbling with some of the Unity Pro features.

The 100 minute loot event was a success and will be repeated asap. Even the priority for features to support these events got bumped up a notch. Here is a picture form the team celebrating their 1st place and the official results:

While we're getting closer to a fully functioning platform for the 0.6.0 release it hasn't gone unnoticed that the current version has become a bit stale. This is especially true for those of you who have been online for quite some time now. We would <3 to make things more exciting and thats exactly what our current development cycle is all about. A fresh video will be released soon with footage taken from one of the most recent test builds.

Just like the universe keeps on evolving, so are we and the things we produce. With the current version tested to exhaustion we can only promise to deliver a greatly improved experience a.s.a.p. We've been very busy with a lot of things, both project and private, so this message is to let you all know we're still alive...

All the best wishes and welcome to a special news update to kick off the new year.
We're leaving 2013 behind us as a very productive year, and without any fancy charts we'll start with some actual numbers:
